Chapter 15, He Lost Control So Much
"I'm the one pursuing her, do you have any objections?"
The man's arm rested on Wen Hanyun's shoulder and back, which from a certain angle looked like he was holding her in his arms.
"Furthermore, as a teacher, repeatedly harassing colleagues suggests that the teaching ethics at University A need to be thoroughly rectified."
"Yan...Mr. Yan?"
"We were just playing a little joke on Teacher Wen, we'll leave right away."
"Too late," Yan Sheng said coldly.
Soon, bodyguards came in and "invited" the people who were begging for mercy out.
Yan Sheng turned around, placed his hands on Wen Hanyun's shoulders, and leaned down slightly.
"I know you've been through a lot and are hesitant to trust others, but I'm sincere. Can I take care of you?"
Familiar faces, familiar circumstances—at this moment, Wen Hanyun felt an inexplicable surge of anger rising within her.
How many times do they have to perform this scene?!
"Mr. Yan," she said indifferently, looking down to avoid his gaze, "I don't want to be in a relationship right now, and I won't consider it in the future. This isn't your problem; it's my own."
"What?"
Yan Sheng's gaze turned cold almost instantly, a fierce and gloomy emotion surging in his chest, and the hands on her shoulders tightened their grip.
This was the first time Wen Hanyun had seen Yan Sheng like this, and the first time she understood why Yan Zhe and the Yan family were so afraid of him.
She instinctively tried to back away, but he held her firmly in his arms.
The air seemed to be filled with ice crystals, making her even feel a little sluggish.
It turns out that his usual gentle and refined demeanor was just a facade in front of her. Once someone disobeyed him, he would reveal his chilling true nature.
"It's my own problem..."
Despite the pain in her shoulder, Wen Hanyun forced herself to remain calm and answered.
“That’s not it,” Yan Sheng interrupted her.
"I don't want to be in a relationship..."
"No, it's the previous sentence, what did you call me?"
"Mr. Yan," Wen Hanyun gritted her teeth, struggling to look up and meet his gaze, "It hurts so much, please let go..."
Meeting her tearful, fearful yet resolute eyes, Yan Sheng, in his rage, suddenly came to his senses, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
He actually lost control like that and hurt her...
Taking advantage of his momentary distraction, Wen Hanyun loosened her grip and, like a slippery fish, easily broke free, retreating several meters away with wary eyes.
"Please enjoy your meal. I have to go now because I have an urgent matter to attend to."
After saying that, she turned and left without looking back.
Watching Wen Hanyun's resolute back, Yan Sheng's hands clenched and unclenched. He silently followed behind her in his car, watching her return home safely before starting the car and leaving.
Several hours have passed...
"Sir, you can't drink anymore."
The old butler collected the empty wine bottles scattered on the ground and then went to get the bottle that Yansheng was holding.
However, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the bottle, refusing to let go.
"Get out of my way!"
"Sir, it's me. Let me tidy up for you."
"......"
Seeing the butler's worried face, Yan Sheng lowered his head, but still held the wine bottle tightly.
The butler sighed, "Sir, if you ruin your health by drinking, you won't be able to protect Miss Wen."
He hesitated for a moment, then finally let go.
Why is she so resistant to my love? What did I do wrong?
"Yanzhe has already been kicked out of the game by me, so what else does she have to worry about?"
Seeing his pained and confused expression, the butler helped him to the sofa. "Sir, do you really love her?"
"If you truly love someone, you shouldn't be like a savior, condescendingly bestowing kindness upon her when she's in a vulnerable and miserable state."
"From my observation, Miss Wen is an independent woman with her own career. Rather than clipping her wings and caged her like a canary, you should ask yourself if you are willing to stoop down for her and be the one standing shoulder to shoulder with her..."
.
One week later.
Wen Hanyun walked into the classroom as usual.
Just as they were about to push the door open, it was pulled inwards, and the two looked at each other in disbelief.
"Teacher Wen, I have something to tell you..."
The department head on the podium looked at the two of them with a smile, completely unaware of the awkward atmosphere.
Looking at the exceptionally handsome man in front of her, Wen Hanyun's fingers tightened suddenly as she gripped the lesson plan.
"Let me introduce you," the department head said with a smile as he walked up to the two of them. "This is Yansheng, Professor Yan. He will be our teaching assistant in the future, assisting Professor Wen with her teaching work."
Yan Sheng nodded slightly to the audience. He was wearing a white shirt and silver-rimmed glasses. The reflection from the lenses concealed the sharpness in his eyes, leaving only a hint of humility.
Immediately, a burst of excited applause rang out.
As a prominent figure in the business world, Yan Sheng naturally received a warm welcome from the students.
"Teacher Yan, please feel free to contact me if you need anything. Teacher Wen, I won't disturb your teaching."
The department head nodded and left with a smile.
Mr. Yan donated an entire laboratory building for their department. He thought they would get another vice principal, but it turned out he was just coming here as a teaching assistant and specifically requested to be assigned to Wen Hanyun's team.
Their art department is truly full of talented people.
Yan Sheng rolled up his sleeves, revealing his well-defined forearms, and then extended his right hand to her: "Teacher Wen, please give me your guidance."
"Thank you for your help, Teacher Yan."
Ignoring the students' good-natured laughter, Wen Hanyun shook hands with him briefly and walked straight to the other side of the podium to put down her lesson plan.
During the entire class, the two barely interacted.
As soon as the bell rang, Wen Hanyun glanced at the time, nodded slightly to Yan Sheng to say goodbye, and planned to leave him behind to go back to her office alone.
Yan Sheng, carrying his lesson plan, silently followed behind her.
After being followed the whole way, Wen Hanyun finally mustered up her courage and turned around: "Teacher Yan, could you please stop following me?"
Yan Sheng paused slightly and handed over his employee badge. "Teacher Wen, I'm going back to the office, 303."
Wen Hanyun's face instantly turned red. "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."
They actually share the same office?
However, this is not surprising given that she is her teaching assistant.
"It's alright, Teacher Wen."
The two desks faced each other. Wen Hanyun was organizing lesson plans in front of the computer, and when she looked up, she could see Yansheng staring at her in a daze.
Since she had just wronged him, she felt embarrassed to nitpick and could only shift her focus to work.
Yan Sheng looked at her, who was diligently trying to act like a quail, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
In the days that followed, his presence was as natural and omnipresent as air, and he would just disappear after she finished work, without interfering with her private time at all.
On this day, Wen Hanyun, as usual, finished her school chores and walked alone to her dormitory building after get off work.
